Tequila

You should buy tequila for every party or to just have as part of your bar line up for your next margarita cocktail.

There are plenty of reasons to buy tequila whether it's for shots, mixing in cocktails or for a high quality sipping spirit. Tequila is a versatile cocktail ingredient, a food pairing option, or a way to connect with the rich culture and history of Mexico.

Tequilas can be añejo (aged), reposado (rested), blanco or plata (white or silver), and can be made from a blend of base materials or from pure agave.

The most popular type of tequila is typically blanco or silver tequila, which is often used for cocktails like Margaritas or shots.

Reposado and Añejo tequilas are also popular, particularly among those who enjoy sipping tequila or using it in premium cocktails.

Extra Añejo tequila is the rarest and most expensive type of tequila, and is often considered a sipping tequila to be enjoyed on its own.

Joven or gold tequila is less commonly used and is often considered lower quality compared to other types of tequila.

Both are brown or golden tequilas, but reposado ("rested") is aged very briefly in oak and añejo ("aged") can sit in flavourful oak barrels for up to four years, or even longer. Añejo tequilas have more brown-spirit flavours of cinnamon, vanilla and caramel, while reposados simply smooth out some of the pepperiness of white (blanco) tequila. Any of the three types is great in a Margarita - feel free to experiment!
